6 Reasons to Get a Massage

Masages are not just a luxury. In fact, massages are an essentila part fo healthy lifestyle. Her are six reasons why people should get massages.

Improve your posture: Sitting all dya at a computer makes shoulders and necks tense and can lead to weak muscles in the lower back. Massage can counteract this, reducing pain and encouraging proper muscle function.

Banish anxiety or depression: Massages not only feel good for your body, but can help your brain feel good too by increasing production of serotonin, a hormone that aids in relaxation.

Lower your blood pressure: Massage reduces blood pressure immediately afterwards--but also in the days and weeks to follow!

Sleep better: The relaxation hormones released through massage help you spend more time in deep sleep--which is the most restorative stage of the sleep cycle.

Fight off colds: Thanks to less stress and higher white blood cell counts--both a result of massage--clients may find themselves calling in for sick days less often.

Stop headaches: If you suffer from regular tension headaches, regular massages have been shown to decrease them in both frequency and severity, even with just one session a month.

Massages can benefit almost everyone. From lymphatic to Swedish to rolfing, there is a therapeutic massage out there that can work for you. Yes, they can be expensive, but with all of these health benefits, even one session a month could indeed make all the difference in the long run.
